00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: He leads the league in absences for the guy that's

10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: runs the whole thing. You know, That's all I'm saying.

11
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Isn't a position where he can do whatever? It's a

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: wonder Maybe that's a wonderful point when you don't have

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: to ask for permission to miss. Yeah, I guess you

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: can miss. I took it a different way. I took

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: it because he's running the things that maybe he's got

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, oh he's got he's got. I mean yeah,

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure the things he's doing command demand a lot

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: of it. I bet he doesn't keep track of that. Now,

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: he keeps track of how many years, how many episodes?

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Right seasons? But like the absences. Now that's okay. Well,

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: he's not on vacation yet. He's taking care of some

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: work with the league. Yes, hey, Derek, Well, um, before

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: we start talking about everything that we have to talk

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: about on this show, there's something I need to address

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: because I've never seen Dave wear such a bright color before,

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: so I might need some sunglasses year he's wearing some

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: bright chicken yellow. Look. School spirit is great and fun

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: and wonderful us. It'll get you, yeah, school bus, it'll

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: get you in trouble sometimes. Um. LSU played Southern Miss

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: in the college baseball playoffs this weekend, and one of

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: our wonderful PR guys, Joe Trehan, went to Southern Miss.

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: It was only natural that we do a T shirt. Bet,

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'm actually wearing a polo. But they beat us,

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: they kind of, I mean the game. The games were close,

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: but like, Southern Miss was way better than than LSU.

36
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: They handed it to us. You got their their colors

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: schemes are black and golden, right literally, so yeah, if

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: you're not watching, it's just like the most neon yellow polo.

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: He brought it over to my office this morning and

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I was like, you couldn't have given me a black

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: shirt with like a gold logo. No, it's all yellow,

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: which I was joking before the show, like if yall

43
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: had won, I mean that that's what I was about

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: to say. It's like LSU's color scheme is obnoxious, Like

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be wearing gold or purple, not gonna let

46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: you wear a white shirt. So yeah purple, Yeah, probably

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: make them wear the broadest jersey. Yeah I still do.

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I got my broadest Sugar Bowl jersey. I mean it's

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: a mood point now because we lost. But yeah, so

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I have to wear this all day, I swear. I

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: don't know how many sports are like this, but like, well,

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I guess every Olympic sport really. But but when you

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: get to the like to the end where like everyone

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: gets excited about college baseball and then during the year

55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know, yeah, even sure, I mean

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you do you follow it? I kind of follow my team.

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: But for the most part, college baseball just like jumps

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: onto the scene and it's like, oh, but the funny

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: thing is, I would say, unless you care, they're like

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: there's like there's twenty five schools that care. It's like

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: the SEC Really I noticed this a long time ago,

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: like it follows the coast, like it's the California and

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Arizona schools, the southern schools, and then yeah, some of

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: the schools in acc country. Nobody else gives a damn.

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: And I was at my favorite sports bar watching the

66
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: games over the weekend, and even like with all these

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: games on and stuff, like half the people in the

68
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: barb were like, what is this guy freaking out about? Like, Oh, oh,

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: that dumb baseball game that's over in the corner TV

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: that nobody's paying. You had to ask the bar that

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I had to ask the bartender to put out. Yeah,

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: so even in the middle of the tournament, not very

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: many people care. But it's a lot of fun. Well,

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: see we are talking about baseball. Let's just go ahead

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: and discuss what happened last night with the homeroom derby

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys. That's good hosting. It happened last night.

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: This is something that the Cowboys do every year to

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: donate some money, and you know, they had a lot

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: of fun. I saw a lot of smiles going around.

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: It's always a fun event for the Cowboys and the players,

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and just wanted to talk about some of the things

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: that that came out of that. The players do talk

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: to the media, so what would be well before any

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: of the players talking to the media, the same thing

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: that happened last year during the season happened there. I mean,

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Mica Parsons is better than everyone else and it doesn't

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: matter what you're doing, and he's going to He's going

88
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to beat you. Okay, not

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: only did Micah Parson this is this is for this

90
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: is the reliant home run derby. All the money goes

91
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: to Salvation Army. Uh. They raised eighty one tho dolls.

92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: And then I think the media had their own and

93
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: they raised Kyle Yeomens was swinging some money. Many just

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: he was fashing. Kyle just stopped me before I got

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: on here to tell me that he should have they

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: should his check should have been high. They cheated him

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: out of him sure of course whatever. Anyways, and I

98
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: believe him because he was he was him will say, like,

99
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he hyped himself up as a nice as

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: a nice hitter, and he like, I got no complaints.

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, like you're you're you're good

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: at this. Yeah he was. He did a nice job. Um,

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: he just used the regular bats that they were provided,

104
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: and all the other hitters except Mica did that. Mica

105
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: took a few swings and said this is not gonna work.

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: He sends a guy down to Dick Sporting Goods, I

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: hope they're a sponsor, and buys a five hundred dollar bat,

108
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: comes back, and then as they're introducing the players. You

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: saw this. They're introducing the players. Here's Jordan Lewis, Here's

110
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown and Mica par MICA's in the cage swinging,

111
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: taking more rep more reps, and so we're like and

112
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: literally my favorite part of that was, I mean, you know,

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Kyle does this for a living. He does play by play,

114
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: He knows how to work on a microphone, and like

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: he's doing he's like he had thirteen sacks last season

116
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: and he was the rookie of the the year. Like introducing

117
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: him very show many and like Mica starts to leave

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: the cage to wave to the crowd, and then like

119
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: you saw, he had a moment where he was like, oh,

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: I've got like six more seconds before he's done introducing me.

121
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: He went back in the cage, took another swing, and

122
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: then came out and said hide everybody. So so just

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: just so everyone knows, there's I don't know how how

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: worth the fence they brought in three two hundred and

125
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: seventy five yards something our feet, I mean the middle

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: of the outfield. Yeah, probably, Yeah, that's that's the home run.

127
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Of course, this is a minor league park and it's

128
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: a you know, two hundred and fifty feet something like that. Probably.

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: So Mica actually hit two regular home runs and one

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: of them went out of the stadium, went out of

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: the entire park. The so to say he knocked it

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: out of the park, he literally that's I tweeted that.

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: I was like, he hit out of the park. I'm

134
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: not talking about the playing field. He hit it out

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: of the baseball stadium. So it's rough Riders Stadium here

136
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: in Frisco. It's a minor league park. Left, the left

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: field walls three hundred and sixty four feet and then

138
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: there's a berm with like a concourse behind it, and

139
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: then the gate that leads to the to the street

140
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: is probably another it's probably fifty feet behind the wall, right,

141
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: So he hits it over the wall and it what

142
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: it did was it skipped on the concrete concourse and

143
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: bounced over the fence. I couldn't believe it. Like, how

144
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: many Rough Riders players have ever done that? I don't know,

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it happens every week. But the

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: other way, he's freaking amazing. As far as I know,

147
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: he has not played baseball before he played, and he

148
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 1: said he played in high school. He said he quit

149
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: playing baseball to run trus So he just he's like,

150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: I quit playing baseball so I could run track and

151
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: then was good enough at football to be top. It's

152
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: something that he doesn't pract no, not at all except

153
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: for you know, a few hours beforehand. And so not

154
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: only did he hit the home run and only Michael

155
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: could do that, Micah ran the basis. He ran the basis.

156
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: He tried to run it again, then Dak stopped him,

157
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, Dak, And yeah, I love the fact that

158
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: Dak and Parsons have a little you know, back and forth.

159
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Dak and Digs also you see that at practice them too.

160
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: It's the whole team. But yeah, no, for sure, it's

161
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: a it's a healthy thing. But they raised. Micah actually

162
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: didn't win the event. The scoring is a little different.

163
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Layton vander esh actually won the event. I think he

164
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: like singled his way to the to the home runner champions.

165
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I think they goosed the numbers so Micah wouldn't be

166
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the champion technically. I mean, if he hit the most

167
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: home runs, he should win. But I guess Layton raised

168
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: more money. You know, it's about raising money and all that,

169
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: but but the competitive nature of Michael Parsons is kind

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: of what comes out of this. He is he has

171
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: to win. He had to do that. There was no

172
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: doubt about it. He was going to get the right bat,

173
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: he was going to get enough swings, he was enough practice.

174
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: He was going to win. Hopefully, you know, what does

175
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: this all mean? Hopefully. He's the type of guy that's like,

176
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: we have to win, you know, and I I don't.

177
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think ray Lewis was like, I mean

178
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: that's what I think. I think he you know, and

179
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: from that position, like you could you just have to win.

180
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: It's so rare, like I haven't been I mean, I've

181
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: been here long enough now I feel like I keep

182
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: getting older and older. But it's been all enough for

183
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: me to see enough players come through and see how

184
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: they develop, and see the trends that tend to happen

185
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: with rookies and all that. But since the time I've

186
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: been here, for sure, I have not seen any other

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: player with the amount of talent that he has. Not

188
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: even like when Dak and Zee came for the first

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: time in their rookie year and they had that combo

190
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: going on and all that. It's just like what he

191
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: has is so unusual. Yeah, it's amazing, very very impressive.

192
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: But other than that, the media did speak to the

193
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: players and all that, was there anything that was highlighting

194
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: that came out of that that you guys were like, huh,

195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, did anything like noteworthy come out of

196
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: That's just from a reporter's perspective, Like that event is

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: so strange because the eight guys participate, or maybe it's

198
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: even ten, and they bring him over to talk to

199
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: us in between at bats, so you you get maybe

200
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: three minutes maximum to talk to all these guys. I mean,

201
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I guess yesterday was the first time Treyvon's talking. Yeah,

202
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: and I thought there may be something there to you know,

203
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: did we even he he talked about following up in

204
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: eleven interception season, but not with any sort of amazing soundbites. Um.

205
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: I think it is funny to note and I don't

206
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: think anybody should be surprised, but um, you know, I

207
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: think the whole conversation about Trayvon do you are you

208
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: good because you get picks or are you bad because

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: you give up? Like that whole narrative. You can tell

210
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: it aggravates him. Yeah, he was asked a question about

211
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, you get picks, but you take chances, and

212
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: he was like, what chances are you talking about? I

213
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: played football. I don't take chances. Yeah, Like you can

214
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: tell that whole narrative drives him crazy. But he didn't

215
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: really give a great SoundBite about it, but it was Yeah,

216
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: that was interesting. Yeah, I mean those corners, you know,

217
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, Jordan Lewis, Trayvon Diggs, they were all all

218
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: talking about just you know, that second year with with

219
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: dan Quinn and just being being more consistent. I think

220
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: big plays. Uh, you know, yards after the catch was

221
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the one thing that they they're really going to try

222
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: to focus on, which that comes down to making the tackle,

223
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: you know that's that. I mean, or don't give up

224
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: the pass in the first place, but you know, the

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, I mean, rally to the ball,

226
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: get there. Um, I don't know, I kind of got

227
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: the sense Layton vander esh is in he didn't really

228
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: talk to the media much. I feel like, I don't know,

229
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to put your finger on it. I just

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: he you know, he's heard all this stuff. He's been humbled.

231
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: He has to have been. He thought he was going

232
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: to sign an eight million a year deal when free

233
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: agency started, and he had it in a better mood

234
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: than what I've seen. Say, there's something different, and I yeah,

235
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. If it seemed like he was in

236
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: a good place he didn't see which yeah, I mean,

237
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,359
Speaker 1: you can't read too much into somebody's entire life by

238
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: what they say at three minutes at a charity event.

239
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: But like, he seemed like he was in a good mood,

240
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: which like for us, he's kind of a salty interview.

241
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: If he gives Christmas cards to anyone and it's not yeah,

242
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: like he usually is not very happy, doesn't doesn't like him,

243
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: doesn't like us, So yeah, I mean doesn't I don't like.

244
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: It's just like it's one of those Yeah, but he was,

245
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: he was, he was in a good mood last night.

246
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But the swing and

247
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: when the when this home run basically stole it. I

248
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: guess da did talk about um oh yeah, the other

249
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: news of the week. Dak talked about Dalton Schultz not

250
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: being here, but exactly what you would expect, Like, you know,

251
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: this is the business element of things. Dak said he

252
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: knew Dalton wasn't gonna be here, no big deal. You know,

253
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: these sorts of things happen. You know, one thing I've

254
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I've I've learned about Dak in his interviews is look

255
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: at the last thing he says. It's always the It's

256
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: like the last thing that comes out of his mouth

257
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: is the truth, well of the most the closest to

258
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: being the truth. That or just or just like the

259
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: best part of the quote, you know. I mean he's

260
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: just talking about it. He's been there, he gets it,

261
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: and we talk all the time and all that. But

262
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm pretty sure we're gonna handle it. Yeah,

263
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna we're gonna get this thing figured out.

264
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: And we I mean, they got him scouting players and

265
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: talking to players before the draft. I mean maybe he's

266
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: he's over there working contract, which I'm sure they can

267
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: go up to and said we you want us to

268
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: really handle this dec you can actually shave off some

269
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: of that forty million a year and you can help paper.

270
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh, well that's your problem, which in

271
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: reference for those who might not know, although if you

272
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: listen to this show, you definitely know what's going on.

273
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: But Dalton Schultz is basically holding out for right now

274
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: showing not showing up for these voluntary practices which are

275
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: OTAs and in in once of contract new contracts for

276
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: ye which which again and we talked about it off

277
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: the break upstairs and all that. It's just like, what

278
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: do you really have any kind of upper hand here whatsoever?

279
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: And we know the cowboys tend to for the majority,

280
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: for the most part, they tend to always take their time,

281
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, take things like you're not pressuring the cowboys whatsoever.

282
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna do what they're gonna do. Here's here's what's

283
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: happening with Dalton Schultz. And I've thought about this in

284
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: my in my own life. It's a good analogy. I

285
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: don't know how much either of y'all will relate to it,

286
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: but because I mean, you're you know, you you just

287
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: had a kid, you've been you're married. But it remarked

288
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: kids and you have you have kids to know. But

289
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm it's about it's a relationship thing. That's why I

290
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: say that. But it reminds me of like when you're

291
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: dating and you make yourself like way too available and

292
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: you're just like you text back immediately, like every time,

293
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: and the other person is like, maybe they don't like

294
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: maybe they leave you on red for like twelve hours

295
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, and Dalton Schultz is like, screw you guys,

296
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm I'm I'm not answering you. I'm I'm

297
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna leave you on red for a couple of days

298
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: and see how you like the return treatment. That's what's happening.

299
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: The problem is there's like, unless the Cowboys just want

300
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: to sign him to a new deal, they don't have

301
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: to care. That's really that's the problem. He signed the tag,

302
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have any true leverage, But I think

303
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: he's just saying like, hey, I don't have to answer

304
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: your texts every time, Like I don't have to and

305
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go, Okay, we got this other chicks. Yeah,

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, he doesn't have any true leverage. But

307
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: I just think Dalton Schultz is saying, hey, over here,

308
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: I would like for you to at least offer me

309
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: a contract, Like I would like for you to at

310
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: least act as if you want me here. That would

311
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: be nice. And that's I don't think that's been happening,

312
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's what he's doing. So next week

313
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: mini camp will be that's mandatory. You have to be.

314
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: They will find him like a hundred grand if he's

315
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: not here, Like I would be shocked if Deebo Samuel's

316
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: going to Niners camp. There's no way Dalton Schultz isn't

317
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: going to be here for that. And he's not gonna

318
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: hold out of training camp. That's I kind of bristled

319
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: when you said hold out, because there's no way he'll

320
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: hold out. It's fifty thousand dollars a day to hold

321
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: out in under the new CBA. There's no way, especially

322
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: and Dalton's a fourth round pick, who yeah, he's guaranteed

323
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: this UH franchise tag money, but that's still like given

324
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: up fifty grand a day. I mean that's starting to

325
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: be hundreds of thousands of dollars if you miss all

326
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: of camp. And then just to hypothetically say he misses

327
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: a game, that's like six hundred thousand, like he ain't

328
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, that's when you start. I've I've always

329
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: been told the holdout really doesn't start until you start

330
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: missing game checks. The thing about the fines for training camp.

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if if this is just one

332
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: team or one coach or I don't know if the

333
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys do this a lot, but a lot of times

334
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: you start, you find someone for missing camp or OTA

335
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: or mini camp or whatever. And then when the deal

336
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: comes out, like all right, you're coming in tonight, we're

337
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna get this thing done. All right, how much is

338
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: this fines? Like can we just squash it? He'll be

339
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: there tonight, He'll be And sometimes those fines do just

340
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: go away. I don't think they can anymore. Like the

341
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: CB the owners like really came down on this. I'm

342
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: almost positive the new CBA rules stipulate that like holdout

343
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: fines can't be forgiven anymore. Okay, I need to double

344
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: check that, but I'm like ninety nine percent sure, Like

345
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: they really the new CBA killed holdouts unless you are

346
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: the type of player that can afford to lose that

347
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: type of money. Like you know, if for some reason

348
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: Dak wanted to hold out, he could, but somebody like

349
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz can't. Well, and let's talk even further about this.

350
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: In the last week or so, there has been another

351
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: tied end contract that's happened. Yeah, and let you say

352
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: his name, because this one that I always butcher David

353
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: and Joku and Jokum from Where Eyes with the Browns.

354
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: So fourteen a year ish, Yeah, I mean it's one

355
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: of those deals where it doesn't it won't be. It'll

356
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: probably be a two year deal, right, they can get

357
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: out of it. And over the last two years, Dalton

358
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: shut David and Joke, who was a first round pick

359
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: out of Miami. He's an incredibly athletic guy. He's like

360
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: the classic case of the like Evan Ingram, like the

361
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: enticing athletic downfield threat has not really materialized. He's been

362
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: all right. I don't think he's been worth where he

363
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: was drafted. Dalton Schultz is accomplished more than him in

364
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: the last two years. So I'm sure he and his

365
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: people are like, well, if a joke who's getting twenty

366
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: eight million guaranteed, where's where's the love? Like, come on, um?

367
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: And so I mean this really and truly completely comes

368
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: down to the cowboys, Like if they want to sign Schultz,

369
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and I bet you they wouldn't break, like they wouldn't

370
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: sign him to the top of the market. But if

371
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: they want to sign him to a deal like that,

372
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: they can. And if they want to say no, show

373
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: up for training camp, we don't care that they can

374
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: do that too, and I don't Dalton doesn't have a

375
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of wiggle room. No, I just think he's

376
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: sort of saying it's just it's sort of like a

377
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: silent protest, like I don't have to do my chores

378
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: if I don't want to, Mom and dad, I know

379
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: you will take my car away, but I'm not going

380
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: to do it. Like it's just one of those things.

381
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask you, Nick. Other than

382
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Dave's analogy of that, yeah, yeah, you're right, Like if

383
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: I did that to a girl, she'd be like cool.

384
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: There's like eighteen other guys, bro, I don't care. I

385
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: don't care if you don't text me back. Well, other

386
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: than that, and us all agree that he's basically going

387
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: to show up next week in that training camp and

388
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: everything like that, is there any other kind of explanation,

389
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: because when you put it all and lay it all

390
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: out on the table. Really the cowboys Like that doesn't

391
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: create any pressure on the cowboys whatsoever. And they're gonna

392
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: do what they're gonna do. But do you find any

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: other type of meaning and reason as to why it's

394
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: even beneficial for him to think that he should not

395
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: be here this week? I think if you get told,

396
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: you know, over and over, or you know by your agent,

397
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: this is an agent driven thing. This is the agent

398
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: wants this done, and it's the agent's job to get

399
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: him the most money. And so I agree with what

400
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Dave said. I didn't go so far if the whole analysis,

401
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: but the whole part about I'm I'm over here, you know,

402
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna make this easy for you. You know,

403
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: if you're gonna punch me in the face, I'm not

404
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: going to give you the glove you know to punch me.

405
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean just just I'm not gonna help you. You're

406
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna do what you're gonna do. And and and I

407
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: think you know it doesn't hurt the cowboys though. Okay,

408
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: so Jake Ferguson gets more snapps with the ones. I

409
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: mean that's what we wanted to see, if he could

410
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: do anyways. So I don't think it's really He'll be

411
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: back when he has to be. It's just one of

412
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: those deals. Then they're gonna they're gonna talk this through.

413
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: I think they want to get a deal done, but

414
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: they've never been real quick. The Cowboys have never really

415
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: been intimidated by the one team, and it's usually the Raiders,

416
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: but it's the one team that throws out there and

417
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: sets a market and says this is this is what

418
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: tight ends are worth. When they're like, no, I'm sorry,

419
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean the brown thing you want to pay in Joku,

420
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: that fine, but that's not what we feel like is

421
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: the market. And we're not going to just be pressured

422
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: in to say, well, looks like we have to be

423
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: better than that, because they don't right now, Yeah they don't. Yeah,

424
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: I like that's it completely comes down to what the

425
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to do. And I said that on I

426
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: said it when I heard that he was missing this week.

427
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: I said it on Twitter's like I'm a okay with

428
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: Dalton getting a deal, Like in Joku's like, I don't

429
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: think Dalton Schultz should set the tight end market, but

430
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys, he's a high character guy, he is

431
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: a valuable target for Dak. Dak loves him. The numbers

432
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: speak for themselves over the last two years in terms

433
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: of like and I mean if you want to call

434
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: him a safety blanket, that's fine, but like, that's a

435
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: valuable thing. I mean, that's what Jason Witten was for

436
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: half of his career. Funny you said that about Whitten.

437
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: I've still this is a line that I said probably

438
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen years ago when Witten was trying to

439
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: get his first deal. He was a young he was

440
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty years old when he got here, and it was like,

441
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: well he's twenty four years old and he's made three

442
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls And I'm like, well, you better sign him now,

443
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: you know, because next year he's going to be twenty

444
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: five year old with four Pro Bowls, and so you

445
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys have to be careful because who else

446
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: is going to play a receiver for this team? Yeah,

447
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Schultz is going to probably get eighty catches.

448
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: So now he's going to have three straight years of

449
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: sixty five plus. I'll tell you right now, money could

450
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: even be higher than that as long as he stays healthy.

451
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Knock on wood for him, Like his market's going to be.

452
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: I mean he would have he would have signed a

453
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars a year deal in the spring if

454
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: they hadn't tacked him, no doubt, out of my mind.

455
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that like, if you can get him

456
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: to a deal that puts him in the top five,

457
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: the David Joker deal is perfect because again it's like

458
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: a two year deal. You're basically saying we'll pay you

459
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: fourteen million for two years instead of eleven for one.

460
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? It sounds great to me. And

461
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: then it gives you time to see what you have

462
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: in Jake Ferguson. They've got the space, the Lyle money,

463
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: the Lyle Collins money kicked in. I don't think that

464
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: would be a big deal. And I think it just

465
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: comes down to what they want to do because they

466
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: don't have to. They don't. I mean, that's the bottom line.

467
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting though, and I do to go

468
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: back to your point two is like I think Dalton

469
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: already kind of showed his hand as far as what

470
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: he's about when you think about the fact that, like

471
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: he signed the tag immediately, he's been here through the

472
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: rest of this. He was talking to me last week

473
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: about how he called Ferguson immediately to tell him what

474
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: to expect and what's going on like this. You know,

475
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: he's not trying to be a jerk. He's just very

476
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: he's doing the air minimum in terms of like trying

477
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: to get his contract. That's basically like I bet called him. No,

478
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: all due respect to Jason Witten, but well, actually Witten

479
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the team. That's a weird thing to

480
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: think about. Was I wrote a story about this last

481
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: week and I was like, oh, yeah, Witten wasn't here

482
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: when Schultz showed up because he took that year off. Mum,

483
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: so no, I definitely don't think Witten called and Swain

484
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: Jeff so yeah, Like it was so funny because he's like,

485
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, there was a standard when I came in here.

486
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: Jeff Sway set the standard, Blake Jarwin set And I

487
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh that sounds no, no, mantel, they didn't.

488
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I think the standard was somebody else.

489
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: But I guess he wasn't here that year. Yeah. Well no, no,

490
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take our first break when we

491
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: come back. I don't think we've had I keep I

492
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: keep losing track of when things happened when we only

493
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: have one show a week. But I think we have

494
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: to talk about last week's practice and some of the

495
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: things that did highlight that practice after this break. At ATNC,

00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by blockchain dot com. Welcome back to

538
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: the break. Um, let's go ahead and talk about last

539
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: week's practice and some of the things if you guys

540
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: remember because it's been a while. I love the offseason

541
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: schedule because it's literally it's less of a time commitment.

542
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: But I'm also like, ah, like not only what happened,

543
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: but it's like, well, can't we just talk about tomorrow's

544
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: practice tomorrow? But that I'll have to wait until Yeah,

545
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: we'll wait un till then you can talk about the

546
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: tight ends that we'll be there. I'll have a close

547
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: eye on forty eight and I'll tell you that you

548
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: know what what it happens with other positions. Sometimes it

549
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: happens with like a backup guard or or a second

550
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: running back. And I think the second tight end is

551
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: going to be set here, and I think every other

552
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: the other tight ends. I mean, I just think Sprinkle

553
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: is going to be the second guy because he does

554
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: more than what McEwan. Unless Ferguson can show that he's

555
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: a he's a much better blocker. But I just think

556
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: that what Sprinkle provides as a blocker is going to

557
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: keep him there, and then the other pass catchers are

558
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: going to be like the first one and the third one.

559
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I do? Yeah, Okay, yeah,

560
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: I was like I was disagreeing with you, but when

561
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: you said that, I shelt for last salts one, Sprinkle

562
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: is the blocking guy and then shelters out and someone's

563
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna Sprinkle is gonna stay number two and it'll be

564
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Ferguson or McEwan. Yeah, that's what I think will have.

565
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of sense because I mean,

566
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I know he caught two touchdowns in an Ota the

567
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: other day, but like Sprinkles, not twenty two guys scored

568
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: last year and he couldn't Sprinkles. I don't need he

569
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: couldn't have had more than two catches last year if

570
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: he even had any. He caught him at Arkansas was

571
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: pretty good. Whoopig baby, you know I didn't mention that

572
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: when the baseball but I mean, I mean the whole

573
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: SEC except for LSU is basically in the superregionals. Yeah.

574
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: I got a little bit of flak from the tweet

575
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: that I said of you know, like I'm okay with

576
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: these Cowboys losing in the playoffs, but I mean that

577
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: not really twenty years seven years. Oh, I was thinking

578
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: like since January. But yeah, well, I mean there's been

579
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff losses by the count. Well. I

580
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: just went back to the notes from last week just

581
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: to have a quick reminder, and I think that the

582
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: one thing, the only thing that really stood out from

583
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: the whole practice was Tayler Smith and what he did

584
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: compared to the previous week week which he was with

585
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: the second team getting some reps in there, and this

586
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: time around he got more work and he was both

587
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: at left tackle guard. They started getting some mix in there,

588
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: they started cross training him last week and that I mean,

589
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: you and I saw the play. I would I would

590
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: think only five for six people in the all of

591
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: all that they were watching saw the play. I don't

592
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: want to no one else was talking about it. I

593
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: don't think no. But I saw it. And that's I mean,

594
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to get two hyped in the offseason,

595
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: but they put Tyler Smith. Last week was his first

596
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: week at tackle. Like they only worked him at guard

597
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: at the rookie camp in the first week or two.

598
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Last week they put him at tackle. He did. He

599
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: played first team like they had him. He played a

600
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit of first team guard next to Tyron and

601
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: then he would flop with Tyron on the first team

602
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: left tackle reps. And they lined Mica up against him

603
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: one on I mean, it wasn't one on one, but

604
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: it was a you know, it was an isolated opportunity.

605
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Stone walled him just Mica tried to He took like

606
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: a wide corner and came around and put his body

607
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: into it, and Tyler was just like, Nope, you're gonna

608
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: sit right here. Happen. You're gonna stay right here. You're

609
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: not gonna move any further and like and that's like

610
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, you know, he didn't ride him out

611
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: of the pocket. He didn't like just sort of get

612
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: in the way, like he just boom, like just stopped him.

613
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: And the best part is the very next play, Tiring

614
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: came in and just bumped him down to guard. Now

615
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: he's at guard and he's and he's you know, and

616
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: they tried did some kind of inside rush and it

617
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: wasn't anything spectacular. I mean, nobody got by him, but

618
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't really like a big blitz or

619
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: anything like that. But it just shows, Hey, you know,

620
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: you're going up against the best the Cowboys have right here.

621
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Now you're moving positions and you're sliding here. I mean

622
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: at his head's got to be spinning, but it seems

623
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: like he's handling it. Is it a good thing to

624
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: have him doing those kind of switch him back and

625
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: forth or shoot him? Should they just pin him down? Okay,

626
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: Spence was supposed to a hit last night, he was

627
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: one of the hitters or at the home run derby,

628
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: and he did not do that. I don't know why

629
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: back tightness or somebody just said that's a good idea,

630
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: or maybe just like, well you've been dealing with back tights,

631
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: why you aggravate it. All I'm saying is, yeah, I

632
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: think it's good in this case because you're left tackle.

633
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: You just can't count on. It's not an if he

634
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt, just win for how long? Especially too, I

635
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: think this gets lost a lot. We're not practicing for

636
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: the season right now. That's not what they're doing. They're

637
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: installing the offense. This is the time that Tyler Smith

638
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: should be doing. This is like, Hey, these are our slides,

639
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: these are our schemes, these are our protections. Yes, I

640
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: think he should be doing this, especially right now, two

641
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: weeks before the season starts. Maybe focus on what we

642
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: want you to play. But here now when we're installing

643
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: the offense and what we want all of our players

644
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: to understand. Yes, I think he should be doing as

645
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: much as he can handle, and it seems like he

646
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: can handle a lot based on what we've seen so far.

647
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: What's next on the docket here, Because I've got some

648
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: I could go storytime. Nick is like, I could nuke

649
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: this segment if you want me to, just I could

650
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: take it. It might steal from your three, but go ahead. Okay,

651
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell the second part of that Micah story,

652
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: which takes me to another thing. But after that play,

653
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: Micah went to the left side. See I didn't see this,

654
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: but you did. Michael went to the other side. This

655
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: is like two plays later, and Terrence Steele he had

656
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: him going one way. He went back in he basically

657
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: threw Terrence Steele to the ground with one hand like

658
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: Reggie White did to Larry Allen back in the day.

659
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just got him kind of rock and went

660
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: the other way, threw him down. You could tell. I mean,

661
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: he was just not happy about it. And so you know, hey,

662
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: if you can't work over here, go over here and

663
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: throw Terrence Steele around. Now, I don't want fans to

664
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: be saying, all right, got it. So so now Tyler

665
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: needs to be playing right tackle since you know, no

666
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: Terren Steele will be fine. But but Michael Parson, when

667
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: you get pissed off, you can, you know, do some

668
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: different things that That takes me back to another story

669
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. So this is just a while ago.

670
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: But in the last year, I mean, in the last week,

671
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: we obviously have lost another player from the Cowboys family

672
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: here in Marion, Barbara Sure, and I know that a

673
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of fans loved him. They did. I mean just

674
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: the way he played aid and just the name the

675
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: dreads that was flaming, just the way it was so

676
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: awesome to watch. There was a there was a practice

677
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight hard Knocks, wasn't it and Chris,

678
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: Chris Beamy, he might remember this, he might have even

679
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: shot it. But there was a blocking drill and I

680
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: think the guy's name was like Terry and George or

681
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: some some linebacker. They did this drill. It was running

682
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: backs supposed to go up and block. This guy made

683
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: a move and Barbara whiffed and they got to the

684
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and every defensive player was yelling and screaming and

685
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: all that, and it was like, oh my god, and

686
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: this is big bad Marion who just made the Pro

687
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: Bowl the other before. This is not supposed to happen.

688
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: Marian just very quietly, he was like, run it again, Okay,

689
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: runs it again. Marion gets his head right up under

690
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: the chin. Terry George went to sleep for about forty

691
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: five minutes. I mean got him so good, knocked him

692
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: to the ground on the block. He's like, all right,

693
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: well you didn't beat me that time. Chris. Do you

694
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: remember this play at all or do you remember that?

695
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: I think I remember a little bit about Yeah. It

696
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: was just kind of like, oh, they got Marian, and

697
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: Marian was like, oh watch this, and it just and

698
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: when that play happened, you know that it was weird

699
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: because that happened on Thursday. Yeah, and then and and

700
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking back to that reminded me of Marian

701
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: And you know, Marian had just passed then before tragically

702
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: and and you know, with with Marian, this is really sad,

703
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think it was a major surprise, even

704
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: though that's really sad to say at the age of

705
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: thirty eight, but he didn't know his life wasn't he

706
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: was going downhill and there's some teammates were worried about him. Um,

707
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: so it's you know, and it's you know, it's it's

708
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: hard to celebrate and say how awesome he was as

709
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: a runner and all that stuff, because maybe some of

710
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: that stuff led to, you know, where he was. So

711
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: it's hard to just but he was. He was. He

712
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: was a fun player to watch and he has the

713
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: greatest two yard run in the history of the Cowboys.

714
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: But Chris Beam, I know you you got a good

715
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: shot there with it. It's supposed to be a safety.

716
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: He just kept going out. I've watched that played more

717
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: times than I can count. It's funny, It's I've told

718
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before, but like it's funny to

719
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: think about things like from my life like before I

720
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: was a Cowboys writer, you know, And you know, I

721
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: remember Marian Barber as a Cowboys player, and I remember

722
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: that he was good. But for me, I think about

723
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 1: Minnesota because him and Lawrence Moroney were in the same backfield. Yeah,

724
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: like unstoppable, Like Minnesota was a force in the Big Ten,

725
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to say, like, and they

726
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: literally just handed the ball off like every every snap.

727
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: Like that's how good those two guys were. I like

728
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels was quoted and were almost said something similar too.

729
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: He was almost a perfect player, which is hard to

730
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: imagine that, especially a guy goes in the fourth round. Also,

731
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: but he could run, block, catch, you know, he did everything.

732
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: He had no interest in talking to the media. Yeah,

733
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: no interest at all. Another funny story, I don't remember

734
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: her name, but there was a girl. She was from.

735
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: She spoke Spanish, I don't even know if she spoke English,

736
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: and she she was she should always show up at

737
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: media days. I forgot her name, but she was like,

738
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, there for for for for the looks and

739
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: all that and go to get the interview. And they

740
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: brought her in to talk to Marian because Marian wasn't

741
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: gonna talk to any reporters. But they're like, we'll get

742
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: Marian to talk, and so PR sets it up. This

743
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: is outside the locker room, and Marian was like, no,

744
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm not doing interview that no, it's it's with her,

745
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm not doing the interview, thank you,

746
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: Like no, good try. So you know what, even he

747
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: stuck to his guns, even they brought it in the

748
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: heavy hitters and it didn't work out. I respect the consistency. Yeah,

749
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: I respect it. I was gonna say, I mean, Bill

750
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: Parcels is the Dictionary definition of like the hard ass

751
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: coach who doesn't have anything good to say about anybody.

752
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: So that's especially high praise. Yes, you know, yeah, so

753
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: it's very cool. I obviously did not know anything about

754
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: him prior to this. I've I've heard about him, not

755
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: really seen the way he played or anything. So the

756
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: SAT News brought up obviously a lot of highlights and

757
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: a lot of things from his career, and I mean,

758
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: at someone as someone knew, with fresh eyes, looking at

759
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: at a player that I've never seen before, I was

760
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: very impressed and was like, wow, okay, no wonder, no

761
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: wonder why so many people were high like very very

762
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: fans of him, including people in Mexico. You guys know,

763
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: I cover all the Spanish stuff, but it was surprising

764
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: to see how much love he also was getting from

765
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: everyone in Mexico, and how how many fans and people

766
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: actually kept up with his career. I bet you you

767
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: know that, Yeah, that that doesn't surprise me at all

768
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: that you know, he was a fan favorite for everyone.

769
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: But I mean I can I can definitely see that,

770
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, just just somebody that's just a hard worker.

771
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: And because that's what he was, I mean, he was.

772
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: He was one of those lunch bill guys. You did

773
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: not hear a lot of it talking. He didn't. He

774
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: didn't do that. He didn't. He didn't enjoy that. It's

775
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: just something to be said to for like, like you know,

776
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: what's the old Brian brought us quote like here we go,

777
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: ran it, run it right up your rear, Like I mean,

778
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: everybody loves that guy. You're like third and one. We're

779
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: getting it. I'm not even worried about it. We got it.

780
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: Can't somebody loves that guy. Stick it right up your

781
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: here we go. Thank you Brian. Now and and unfortunately

782
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: this has been a crazy summer where this is. This

783
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: stuff has happened a lot, whether it be Gary Brown,

784
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: the former running backs coach, and um, Larry Lacewell and

785
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: and and miss Maryland Jerry's assistant and Rayphield right and

786
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: apologize if I, oh, well, you know, you know what

787
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: started it all? And and and uh, Dan Reeves passed

788
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: away on January the first, right, and I still talk.

789
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: I still talk to his son in law, Jody Camillisa.

790
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: He's with the Rams. We're still talking. I said, you

791
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: know this, he died on January first, twenty twenty two.

792
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: Like we should have known this was going to happen.

793
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: This year was going to be like that. So there's

794
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: been a lot of it. I knew it had been

795
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: a bad year, but like when you lay it all

796
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: out like that, it's, yeah, it's hard to believe. Wow. Yeah,

797
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: well it's hard to transition from this conversation into something else,

798
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: but UM kind of have to do it. Um. And

799
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this whole show about Michael

800
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: Parsons either. But there was a cool quote that he

801
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: he had this past week, and it was in reference

802
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: to the Marcus Lawrence and the comments that he had

803
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: made about sacks and the record and all that, and

804
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: Mica basically came out saying, yeah, I mean he can

805
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: take a he can do his thing and do all

806
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: that and let him beat him. But if he does,

807
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: he gets ten. That's because I got twenty seventy. So

808
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: a little very nice competition back and forth there was,

809
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: which is something you love to see, you love to

810
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: see in this kind of game and the team. But

811
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: it just wanted to talk a little bit, not necessarily

812
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: about Mica Parsons, but DeMarcus Lawrence. And I've seen some

813
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: comments here on Twitter in regards to him and kind

814
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: of what he's looking like or what could happen with

815
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: him this year as far as you know, how much

816
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: productivity and how much impact can can make this year.

817
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: It's fun to think that. And obviously, I mean there's

818
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: still there's a lot of talent on the offensive side

819
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: of the ball. But like this is the first time

820
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: in my time covering the team where it feels like

821
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: the like the balance of badass talent is flipping over

822
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: to the defense like it was. I mean, so I

823
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: got here in thirteen, so like I missed those much

824
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: more complete defenses that had where you had like War

825
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: and Spencer and rat if you know, yeah, yeah, I

826
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: missed those guys. So I got here and I had

827
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: like one year of DeMarcus ware and ten Slappies and

828
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: then yeah and then yeah, I mean George Selvy of

829
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: that group, right, and then then it and then I

830
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: mean it's easy to forget, like Marcus Lawrence had a

831
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: slow start to his career. So then it was Sean

832
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: Lee and ten Slappies. If Sean Lee was healthy, then

833
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: DeMarcus laws I'm oh, sorry, Barry. You know, I love you.

834
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, you know what I mean? Yeah,

835
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Barry. Barry Church was a good player.

836
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandrick was a good player, but not all pros uh.

837
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 1: And so then then it was DeMarcus Lawrence and sort

838
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: of a middling amount of talent. And now DeMarcus Lawrence

839
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: you could argue that he's the third best player on

840
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: the defense. That's kind of crazy, is um. And so

841
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's fun to think about. You've got a

842
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: guy that made an All Pro three years ago, that's

843
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: not you would and even say he's in the top

844
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: five of their defense, and that's Layton Vanderish. Yeah, you know,

845
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: think about that. He's got it. You know, he's trying

846
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: to turn things around too. But but Jalon Curse, you know,

847
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: he's he's battling for that top five spots. It's way

848
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: easier for me to sell myself on being excited about

849
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: the defense than in the offense right now, for sure,

850
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Um and Tank missed so much last year, you know,

851
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: and like he played one game with with Micah, but

852
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: Micah wasn't he wasn't anything like he is now in

853
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: that first game against Tampa. UM hopefully that's what Tom

854
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: Brady thinks. You know, it's like all that Parsons is

855
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: if he goes on that tape, but he knows that

856
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: that's a different player. And and then DeMarcus missed so

857
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: much time after that, and they came back and you know,

858
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: it was pretty good. But I think a healthy Tank

859
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: and Parsons even being more versatile and doing so many

860
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: things that that could be something that we haven't seen yet.

861
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited, which I mean, I love Tank. I will

862
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: continue to defend him. He's a way better player than

863
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people to give him credit for. But

864
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: he he's up against it. When if you're trying to

865
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: compete with this guy. And it's not just because he's

866
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: a freak, but like Demark Slaren's plays left end, like

867
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's got to do a lot of that

868
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: dirty work. He's good at it. You can double team him.

869
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: He does move around a little bit, but he's not

870
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. I mean, like literally the whole point of

871
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is that dan Quinn is gonna scheme him

872
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the mismatch, and so good luck

873
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: competing with that, because it's like, well, we need you

874
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: over here because you're on the strong side of the formation.

875
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna try to run this way. Titan's gonna

876
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: chip you, maybe you can get to the quarterback. And

877
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: with Mica it's like, ah, we're gonna blitch you through

878
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: the A gap this time, or we're gonna bring you

879
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: over here. Because who was the tackle he abused against

880
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers Storm Norton, Like, uh, this guy sucks, so

881
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: go over here and d Law you can deal with

882
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: the actually good tackle, like that's the type of stuff

883
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Yeah, and it's so you're yeah, you're

884
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: not gonna the sect total by doing that. It's a

885
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: good problem to have for the Cowboys. I'll take Michael

886
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: to win that competition every time, with all due respect.

887
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: And the other way we've seen at practice how black

888
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: guy is currently practicing with both positions linebackers and also

889
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: the defensive band. So he's he's getting all both sides.

890
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why Layton won the home

891
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: run derby, I mean Michael like it looked like a

892
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: real It looked like real BP, Like he was just

893
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: bombing away and like working up a sweat. He trotted

894
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: around the bases and then by like this they do

895
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: three rounds. By the second round, I was like, oh,

896
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: he's gassed. He like he wore himself out. So there

897
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: were like a lot of there were a lot more

898
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: pop ups and like hitting the cage. Whereas you know,

899
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: Layton's like Jason Garrett, just Layson singles all day long,

900
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: not over exerting what's happened in the media game. Kyle

901
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: was bombing him the way early too, and then you

902
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: know didn't then the guy that won just was you know,

903
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: steady Eddie and just I don't care, Like home run

904
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: derby is supposed to just be hitting the give give

905
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: me the five if I can, You're like, you can

906
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: hit one five hundred foot bomb or like twelve decent,

907
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: give me the bomb, give me the one. Like we'll

908
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: be talking about him. That's what we're talking about. People.

909
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: Like one of the my personal hero, my favorite baseball

910
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: player ever is King Griffith Junior. He like, you know,

911
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: the triple against the Yankees. He scores from first to

912
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: advance in the Alds way more than any of that stuff,

913
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: way more than any of the real home runs he hit.

914
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: People remember when he hit the warehouse and the home run. Yeah,

915
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: and at Camden Yards he hit the freaking warehouse and

916
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: that's what people remember. And they also remember that, you

917
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: know they took his hat backwards. Well that's yeah. It

918
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, what's wrong with disrespect of the games?

919
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: Like this is how he wore his hat. Coolest baseball

920
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: player ever, Yeah, Kan Griffith Jr. He was. He was

921
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. If he had that upper dick Ricky card

922
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: I had a couple, but I don't have him anymore.

923
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,000

00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: for anybody that was curious. He's a survivor. True all right, Well,

974
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: free agency and this thing that people keep asking about me,

975
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for something. I mean, I was wearing

976
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: some for some kind of splash, but my ankle never

977
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: even got a drop of water on them, Like I

978
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: got no water touching my feet at all from free agency.

979
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: That was terrible, but whatever. But yeah, the question is

980
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: is there anybody? Can the Cowboys bring somebody somebody else

981
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: to come in here? Um here, I'm going to the database,

982
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna ask my favorite question, and it's important.

983
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: But can or will can can they or will they?

984
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Because those are two days. Of course they can, Yeah,

985
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: there's always they can. Of course they can do you know,

986
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, And I just don't I agree with you.

987
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: I don't think that they have the interest to do that.

988
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're seeing the issues right now.

989
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: And even if they see it, I think that they

990
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is the time where you want to

991
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: see if if you know, just give me a position

992
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: like receiver. You know, they're all working on the side

993
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: over here. Jalen Tolbert's not even practicing all the way

994
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: he might this week, but I think he's Dak said

995
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: last night that he's back. Okay, so he'll be back.

996
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: But but you know, Gallup isn't. I don't think James

997
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: Washington will be. So do you go get a wide

998
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: receiver or do you say, let's just see if if if,

999
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: if we're ever gonna see if Semi Phihoko and t J.

1000
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: Basher and Noah Brown, who's also missed some time, if

1001
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it, they'll do it right now, and

1002
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: then these veterans will still be there. May not be

1003
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: the veteran that's the top of the list right now

1004
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: because they're getting they're getting signed. But then there'll be

1005
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: other guys cut I just think that they're gonna say,

1006
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: let's figure out what we have here and don't have

1007
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: progress stoppers, and if we really need to go get them,

1008
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: then we'll go get it. Which again that's the timing

1009
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: is everything too, and I think it's what I was

1010
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: talking about earlier, like you're installing the scheme right now,

1011
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: like you are trying to get everybody up the bed

1012
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: with what you're going to ask them to do at

1013
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: training camps. So you're teaching guys, you're giving them reps

1014
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: there to answer the question more directly, they're not going

1015
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: to bring somebody in right now. There's four practices left

1016
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: out of eight or however many it is, eight or nine.

1017
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: They're more than halfway through this process. They're just like, again,

1018
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: we're trying to teach this stuff to guys, like you're

1019
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: not you're going to be behind the eight ball. You're

1020
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: not really going to be like we don't and if you're,

1021
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: if you're a super established VET. I'll just use the

1022
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: name Julio Jones just as an example, like Julio Jones

1023
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: doesn't need to come in here for four offseason practices.

1024
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: If you were going to do that, you could do

1025
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: it in July. And we've actually the name that I

1026
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: keep thinking about this when we talk about it, is

1027
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: they signed Malie Hooker like two days after we got

1028
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: to camp. Yeah. So I mean they've shown a willingness

1029
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: to do that, and so I think you evaluate these guys.

1030
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: You see how they practice, You see how much you

1031
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: trust their knowledge of what you're asking them to do.

1032
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: Then if you don't feel good about it, you can

1033
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: go do something. We're let's say we're headed to camp already,

1034
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: and I think they will sign a guy between now

1035
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: and when the team lands in Oxnard. But what were

1036
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: you going to say, is there headed to camp? I

1037
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: was gonna say, let's say we're headed to camp, and

1038
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: regardless of what they might do or whatever, you guys'

1039
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: personal opinion, is there a position that you would like

1040
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: them for them to sign other than Kicker Because kicker

1041
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: is the one position that you can see obviously then

1042
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: bringing a guy in for competition especially, But is there

1043
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: another position where you guys would like at least one

1044
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: more body at it? I mean, yes, if if he

1045
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: is agreeable to sign for a not crazy salary. I

1046
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: would love to add Anthony Barr to this team. And

1047
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean I know for a fact that that's a

1048
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: name that they've talked about. That's probably why he's on

1049
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: my mind. Yeah, I think the fans want and they

1050
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: probably are expecting me to say, but I think the

1051
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: fans want JC Treder the center. Yeah, you know, but

1052
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: I just don't if you're installing right now. But he's

1053
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: an interesting he's interesting case because his whole stance is

1054
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: is we don't need off season you know, hey, we

1055
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: don't need an off offseason program. And he's trying to

1056
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: get all the teams to adopt that. So there's no

1057
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: way he's gonna sign with anyone to go into their offseason.

1058
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't believe that it's happening. So his

1059
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: agent is probably like, all right, we're gonna sign with whoever.

1060
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: I just don't think the Cowboys are gonna are gonna

1061
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: go that route. I mean, and I think that they're

1062
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: they're thinking, be honest, we've we've developed young tackle, a

1063
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: young lineman. We're gonna develop him some more. And so

1064
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that one works. And that's I mean

1065
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: try like I'm I'm not ready to say Josh Ball,

1066
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: Matt will Let's go, and maybe Tyler Smith are the

1067
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: insurance options at tackle, but like options are not wonderful.

1068
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: I guess Darryl Williams. Darryl Williams is a guy that

1069
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: I would be interested in. I think Dayne Dwayne Brown retired.

1070
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he's thirty six years old. Anyway, something's gonna

1071
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: happen at receiver, though, I think I unless you're willing

1072
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: to sign Julio, the list does not inspire me to

1073
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: be honest, I guess Will Fuller's still out there. Emmanuel

1074
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: Sanders is thirty five years old. Cole Beasley just Cole Beasley, No,

1075
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: thank you, I'm sorry, And just why why do we

1076
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: need to Nobody asked for a sequel to that movie.

1077
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: That would cost some drama for sure, So at tension

1078
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: on the media. Yeah, that's other than like Julio Jones

1079
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: and Will Fuller. I don't know, let me ask you

1080
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: something completely different than this. But this is something that

1081
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: I battle with mentally a lot, just trying to create

1082
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: some kind of understanding of a lot of things that

1083
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: happened here with the team. And something that drives me

1084
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: nuts my mind. It's like certain things in general that

1085
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: you see us talking about a lot, they're like, oh,

1086
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: they're bad at this, or they need to do this

1087
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: or do that. There are many many things that we

1088
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: can point out, but they don't see it that way,

1089
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: or at least what they do doesn't reflect any kind

1090
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: of recognition of the things that outside people talk about

1091
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of the media, a lot of ourselves.

1092
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: And there are very rare cases where they are right.

1093
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: For example, turn steel. That's something that we I mean,

1094
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: we killed him for it and we killed them for it,

1095
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: but it ended up turning out well last year. But

1096
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: in general that doesn't tend to be the case. And

1097
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: the cowboys put themselves in certain positions of like kind

1098
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: of their backs against the wall in a way because

1099
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: for example, free agency, they always wait to kind of

1100
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 1: source the end they think they got what they need

1101
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: and all that, and then we keep seeing problems or

1102
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: holes or whatever where there needs to be some kind

1103
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: of change, but we don't see them making it. So

1104
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm just it drives me nuts because I'm trying to understand, Okay,

1105
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: what is it that they're seeing, And I'm talking as

1106
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: a general term overall of all the issues that they

1107
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: still have on the team. But I can't find any

1108
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of understanding. Know what do they see that we

1109
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: don't see? Well, I think you kind of I think

1110
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: you sort of answered it there they What if they

1111
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: would have brought in an offensive tackle of veteran two

1112
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: years ago, and maybe they would have helped win a

1113
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: game or two, but Terrence Steele wouldn't be the guy

1114
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: that's replacing Lyle Collins. So I think that the fear

1115
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: and this is not just the cow which is every team.

1116
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: It's balancing. You've got ninety one players on this roster.

1117
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: They got ninety one guys here, or they have ninety

1118
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: actually they have ninety guys, and they want to make

1119
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: sure that they're all getting an opportunity to do what

1120
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: they signed him to do. And so just you can't

1121
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: just knee jerk every single time and go, well, they

1122
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: don't have a wide receiver that I've ever heard of,

1123
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: so what are they doing? Like this is the time

1124
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: to wait and let these young guys develop. But but

1125
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: let's let these guys develope though, what if the Ontario

1126
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: Drummond's a really good player? What if he's a good player.

1127
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: You're not gonna know that if you sign Julio Jones

1128
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: and Will Fuller and all this stuff. And I mean

1129
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: you're trying to develop. Yes, you have your top guys,

1130
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: but I just think I just think they're trying to

1131
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: let this roster breathe a little bit. And I'm not

1132
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: defending them for I think that's that's the reason that

1133
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: that's what why they do it. They want to develop

1134
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 1: these young guys. They're invested in it. But with every

1135
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: year there's a transition where you, Okay, this guy develops,

1136
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: but then you got to lose this other guy. I'm

1137
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: gonna say the same thing as Nick, but I'm gonna

1138
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: say it less nice. First of all, they think they're

1139
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: the smartest people in the room, as all front offices do.

1140
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: Everybody that does this thing, they know better, and like

1141
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: I always joke, like when they find out that they're wrong,

1142
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: they just reframe it like it's a bad idea until

1143
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. Like they were patting themselves on

1144
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: the back for trading for Amari Cooper because it was

1145
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: a smart thing to do. It was a problem that

1146
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: they created, but they just reframe it until it's a

1147
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: good like and they're like, oh, man, good on us.

1148
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: Forget he's twenty four years old, he's already been to

1149
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. We're so smart for doing this. Deals like, well,

1150
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: why did you put yourself in that position? But that's

1151
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: what happens. They think they're the smartest people in the room.

1152
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: On top of that, Jerry Jones gives this away every year.

1153
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: He's an eternal optimist, and I think the decisions of

1154
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: the front office are framed in that context. What did

1155
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones say after the draft? He was like, well,

1156
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: we didn't know what we had in Mica at this

1157
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: time last year, and look what he did, and we

1158
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: think we're going to get that again. He might be right,

1159
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: he could totally be right, but that like, but the

1160
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: decision making is framed by a sense of glass half

1161
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: full optimism. That's like, well, you don't even know what

1162
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: we got in the tank. Zach Martin, Tyler Smith is

1163
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Zach and two point zero And they could be right,

1164
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: but they're not always right, and so when they don't,

1165
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: when they don't hit on that sense of optimism, it

1166
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: creates problems. That's my answer. I've never like been digging

1167
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: for oil, you know, but I imagine if you've ever

1168
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: if you've ever hit the yeah, you're always and and

1169
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: I've never done it either, but I imagine you kind

1170
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: of have to approach it with the attitude of like

1171
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the next ones the money maker, baby, this is the one.

1172
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it makes sense. But you know,

1173
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: once you've if you've sunk fifteen wells and all fifteen

1174
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: of them have been dry, that ain't good either. Um.

1175
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: That's that's my answer, is optimism and then the normal

1176
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: sense of intellectual superiority that all front offices have in common. Well,

1177
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: we'll let them have time to show the air again

1178
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: every year. But uh um, I mean when you talk

1179
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: about the law of what is it that you probability? Yeah,

1180
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: law of averages, slaw of averages, law of probably a difference.

1181
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: The difference between me and them is they're like, we

1182
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: did this last year, that means we can do it again.

1183
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you did that last year, that probably

1184
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: means you're not going to see it again. We'll see

1185
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: who's right. No, we'll see we'll see what kind of

1186
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: talent develop and we'll see what kind of happens next

1187
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: week on minicamp, especially at tight end. Let's see you

1188
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: some of the players, what they do and what Dalton

1189
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Schultz decides to do, whether show up or not, that'll

1190
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: be news either way. Thank you so much guys for
